AUSTIN / UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS WEATHER
SEVEN DAY WEATHER HEADLINES
AND MY 7 DAY FORECAST CONFIDENCE …

(1) A dry and stable summer weather pattern prevails through the weekend and into Monday. An isolated thunderstorm may form this afternoon in the intense afternoon heat mainly north of Austin with gusty winds being the threat.

(2) By late Monday into Tuesday, we’ll see a trough, or line, of upper level low pressure move across the area. Given abundant low level moisture and increased atmospheric instability, I expect widely scattered rain showers and thunderstorms for Tuesday, Tuesday night into Wednesday under a partly cloudy sky.

(3) A return to be a more stable weather pattern with abundant sunshine and above average afternoon high temperatures for the latter part of next week.

(4) Longer range outlooks are now suggesting a general pattern chance which could potentially bring a cold front into Texas along with better precipitation chances just beyond the seven day forecast period.

MY FORECAST CONFIDENCE OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS…
Today..
High to very high forecast confidence (Reference any rain chances north of area)
Tonight through Monday Night..
Very high confidence
Tuesday through Wednesday..
Medium to High Confidence (Reference rain chances)
Thursday..
High confidence
